Troy teen in wheelchair misses prom because of limo company's mistake

Andre Edwards, a senior at Troy Athens High School, missed almost his entire prom because of a limousine company’s mistake.

Edwards is confined to a wheelchair as a result of a car accident, WDIV reports. But he didn’t want to let that stop him from missing out on what he thought would be one of the best nights of his life. His mom booked a $500 limo for him and his date in advance because he needed a vehicle that was wheelchair accessible.

Edwards said the company promised they would return with the correct limo. But Edwards said the company took so long that, by the time they arrived, the prom was almost over. Students were already leaving.

When Edwards and his mom asked the company for a refund, WDIV reports that they declined but offered a free night on the town instead. But Edwards says that’s not enough because all he wanted the limo for was to take him to the senior prom.
